FAQPage Schema
How do I schedule a one-shot task to run at a specific time?

You can schedule a one-shot task by registering it with a specific ISO 8601 datetime and an optional label. The Skill leverages OS-native schedulers like launchd or atd to execute commands automatically at the specified future moment.

Does task scheduling work on both macOS and Linux?

Yes, task scheduling works on both macOS and Linux. The Skill automatically leverages launchd for macOS environments and atd for Linux or WSL systems to ensure reliable native execution of your scheduled jobs.

How do I list and cancel scheduled jobs?

You can list scheduled jobs to view their details and cancel them by referencing their specific job ID. This job management functionality allows you to easily monitor and remove one-shot tasks that are no longer needed.

What is the difference between one-shot task scheduling and cron jobs?

One-shot task scheduling executes a command exactly once at a specific future datetime, whereas cron jobs typically handle recurring schedules. This Skill focuses on single, precise future execution rather than repetitive task cycles.

Do I need a specific environment to automate one-time task execution?

You need a supported operating system environment such as macOS, Linux, or WSL with native schedulers like launchd or atd enabled. The Skill integrates with cekernel dispatch to automate the execution pipeline.
